RESULTS No. of Cells Description 0 Aneuploid cells with extra signals, representing at least double aneuploidy of chromosomes 3. 7, and/or 17 0 Cells with loss of both gold (9p21) signals 102 Total cells scored • lb • • • • Two green. two red, two aqua. and two gold signals (x 1,000) INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION The UroVysion " 4 Bladder Cancer Kit (Vysis. Inc.) detects aneuploidy for chromosomes 3, 7. 17. and loss of the 9p21 locus via 4- color interphase FISH. It is FDA approved for use as an aid both in initial diagnosis of bladder cancer and for monitoring tumor recurrence on voided urine specimens in patients with transitional carcinoma of the bladder. Assessment of ploidy status was performed using an automated Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) signal enumeration system (Metafer Slide Scanning System, MetaSystems Group Inc.. Watertown. MA). A maximum of 5000 cells are scanned. A positive/abnormal result requires 4 or more cells to show gain for 2 or more chromosomes (3. 7, and/or 17) in the same cell, or 12 or more cells to have zero 9p21 signals. A comparison of positive FISH results to cystoscopy/histology for detection of recurrent bladder cancer shows concordance in approximately 75% of cases, with the greatest correlation (up to 100%) in tumors of high grade and/or stage. The absence of detectable aneuploid cells does not exclude a bladder malignancy, nor does a negative result from a suboptimal specimen without the appropriate number of evaluable cells. Correlation with cytology and/or cystoscopic findings, as well as the patient's history and other laboratory tests is suggested. Pagel of 2 V. Fan. M.D. BioReference Laboratories. Inc.
